The Best Way To Lose Stomach Fat By Eating Smart

Are you fed up with having too much belly fat?

For thousands of people stubborn abdominal fat is a big problem.

Not only does it make you feel self conscious at times but studies have shown that deep belly fat -- or 'intra-abdominal' belly fat -- is possibly the most dangerous kind of body fat.

The healthiest and best way to lose stomach fat quickly is with a combination of eating the right foods and the right exercises.

Following the recommended methods below will help you melt belly fat faster and feel more energy at the same time.

1. Make sure you get lean protein at every meal

Lean protein is a 'fat burning' food because it can speed up your metabolism, stabilize your blood sugar and insulin levels, and rebuild muscle tissue.

Lean meats, eggs, low-fat dairy products, nuts, and seeds are all examples of lean healthy protein.

For the most part, eating large amounts of processed grain products such as sweetened cereals, white bread, processed rice and other refined foods is going to make losing stomach fat much harder.

Sprouted whole grain is an excellent choice and recommended by many fitness trainers and nutritionists

Eat plenty of fresh veggies and fruits each day - Fresh vegetables and fruits are the best carbohydrates to eat when you want to burn belly fat and get lean.

That’s because these foods are always high in fiber, vitamins, minerals and other healthy nutrients. Eat raw vegetables is best and healthy but steamed veggies are also a good alternative.

Avoid high-calorie foods such as dried fruits and fruit juices with high fructose corn syrup..

Watch out for refined sugars

Sugar comes in many forms and can easily sabotage your weight loss efforts.

Learn how to read labels and stay away from anything that contains more than a gram or two of sugar per serving. Soft drinks instantly fall into this category.

Especially fruit jucies with high fructose corn syrup.

A lot snack foods, even low calorie 'diet' foods will not help you lose abdominal fat.

On the other hand, eating foods like lean meats, raw fruits, fresh or steamed vegetables regularly and avoiding highly processed foods will help you lose belly fat faster in much less time.

1) Eat six small meals a day. Stoking your body with food every three to four hours can rev your metabolism to the max. 2) Run 10 100-yard sprints and burn up to 500 calories. 3) Wait 20 minutes before going for seconds. 4) Throw on a hoodie before working out. When your muscles are warm, you actually burn more calories. 5) Use a smaller dinner plate—it’ll limit how much you can pile on. 6) Use a blue dinner plate. Studies show the color has an appetite- suppressing effect (as opposed to red and yellow plates). 7) Sub in nonfat Greek yogurt for mayo and sour cream—you’ll save 700 cals and 100 cals per half cup, respectively. 8) Eat peanuts from their shells. You’ll nosh on 50% fewer nuts in a sitting just trying to peel before eating. 9) Chew on sugar-free mint gum after a meal. Mint flavors send signals to your brain that it’s time to stop eating. 10) Snack on pistachios instead of pretzels. 11) Take up power yoga. You can burn up to 344 calories a class. 12) Train fasted once a week. This helps the body to keep adrenaline high and blood sugar low.

When you go on a 'program' to lose body fat, you may set yourself up for failure. A program implies an endpoint, which is when most people return to their previous habits. If you want to lose fat and keep it off, make changes that you can live with indefinitely. Don't over-restrict calories, and find an exercise program that adequately challenges you, provides progression and offers sufficient variety so that you can maintain it for years to come.
